Russia before Peter the Great was disconnected from Europe and did not have the technology that the rest of the world had. This position was largely caused by the Mongol invasion of Russia around the 14th century. However, before the Mongol rule, the city-states of Kievan Rus predominated the region. This settlement was established when the Vikings began migrating from Scandinavia to the Black Sea, merging with the East Slavic people. Soon after the creation of Kievan Rus, they converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and began trade with the Byzantine Empire.

Peter the Great ruled over Russia from 1682 to 1725. Known as a key force in the reformation of the Russian economy, and the country as a whole, Peter wished to bring his country into a new era. Up until his reign, Russia had been trapped in a medieval like state, cut off from its European neighbors; the Renaissance that revolutionized the rest of Europe had very little to no effect on the Russian government or its citizens. Peter realized that Russia could never be the world power that he wished it to be until they were on the same level as the rest of Europe. Seeing the dilemma, Peter left Russia for a period of time to travel Europe, work among the people of different nations, and study the cultures and governments of Russia’s neighbors.

Although Peter was very progressive in many of his ideals, when it came to justice, he was “traditional,” meaning that Peter the Great would not hesitate to use maximum force if he thought it was necessary. One example of this lethal force was after the rebellion of the streltsy. Specifically, after their rebellion, he had thousands of streltsy executed “savagely” and “publicly.” In addition, after the betrayal of Sophia, Peter elected not to execute her but instead made her become a nun. Peter also led many reforms. One of his main ideas was the introduction of “absolute primacy.” This basically confiscated power from the
